At least one person was arrested Friday night during a protest at the Four Seasons Palm Beach, where President Donald Trump arrived for a Republican National Committee event.

A Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office official confirmed the one arrest. Officials said a woman was also taken into custody and was being interviewed by the Secret Service.

The group’s Facebook page for the rally was titled “Hold the Morally Bankrupt Republicans Accountable for Trump.” About two to three dozen protesters gathered at the resort, where Florida Gov. Rick Scott and Sen. Marco Rubio also are expected to be at the GOP event this weekend.

Some demonstrators had microphones and there was a cowbell and a drum. Officers were on hand in riot gear as the protest grew.

On Friday afternoon, organizer Ryan Hartman said the protesters were trying to show Trump that they oppose the election results.
